They may be out of print, but that doesn’t mean they’re out of style. These old-school MTG booster packs are sure to have you taking a trip down memory lane Read More
I got 12 packs of Masters 25 and pulled complete dog shit for all of my rares and foils aside from 1 Rishadan Port. Don't think I'll be picking up any more packs from Massdrop anytime soon.
CUT_MANNo offense, but that's just how variance works. Packs are never the best way to collect cards. People open them for the adrenaline rush or use them for drafts. If you want a good value, buy singles. Or buy boxes/cases to get the packs at a bulk price and reduce the variance you will see.
$19 + $12 for 6 Iconic/M25 Masters packs? that's just over $30 for 6 packs...which seems VERY nice!
What am i missing here?
(Besides the obvious risk of "mapped" boosters...)
leovaThe prices per pack are good. Even looking at the most expensive pack (Rise of the Eldrazi), you're still looking at $16 per pack as compared to $23 on TCGPlayer. The "mapped" boosters situation is the problem. Loose packs can easily come from boxes that were opened where the chase rare or mythic was found already, making the likelihood of those cards being in the rest of the unopened packs are very small. At least with the Masters sets, though, you're still looking at a decent chance of getting good enough foils to make up the cost of not hitting any big rares or mythics.
JDFernandesDawnglare makes the EV for packs clear and available. Do the math yourself before you buy. The "premium" packs in this drop (+77$) for ROE/DST are horrible deals. ROE has an EV of only $5.11 per pack. DST is only marginally better at $7.20. That's $95.99 for an EV of only $31/$43. ZEN has a much better EV but is in the cheaper tier by $11.
The only sets that come close to EV in this drop are M11, Masters 25, and Iconic Masters. These are $36 and $31 respectively. They EV to $32 and $38.
You want to excite the Massdrop community? Offer Revised, Tempest, Urza, Future Sight, and Shadowmoore. Offer them below EV.

The ONLY reason to get this is for Standard fodder. Don't even bother looking at the other non-standard prices. They're stupid. Literally cheaper to buy them individually on other sites. This is pathetic.
Y’all know you’re going to get repacks, right? They can’t spell it right, there are suspicious 5-star reviews, and they’re not sealed in a box.
You will get repacks.
Make sure you click on "Buy" to see what is actually available. As of this post, there is a TON of sets listed as available in the details, but are not actually available for purchase.
Think it was around Ice Age since I last collected and played. Did have fun but everyone I knew stopped playing or got out of touch.
Did enjoy the game back then, no clue what it's like these days. Still have thousands of cards from back in the day. Pretty rare onces too iirc.
Oh well.., perhaps I'll start playing again or give them to someone that will appreciate it.
